Sommario/riassunto

This highly engaging book invites the reader to learn about how South Korean activists, intellectuals and various reformers approach the role of civil society in a post-colonial, post-Cold War, post-dictatorship, and post-IMF neoliberal democracy. In particular, it provides a detailed description of civil movement organisations in Seoul leading up to, during and after the Roh Moo Hyun era (2003-8). The book engages the entangled hopes, crises and pragmatic transitions that animated this era in South Korean politics and connects it with larger debates in anthropology, sociology, law and politics from around the world. Ultimately, the book contributes to growing areas of research, advocacy and general interest in pragmatism, ethnography, hope and crisis.

Sommario/riassunto

What kind of people joined the IRA? Did Michael Collins order the assassination of Sir Henry Wilson? Using new research and questioning old assumptions, these essays address these and other controversies to suggest new ways of looking at the history of the Irish Revolution of 1916-23.
